'heavenly belt' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'dior is returned after a set's ordered' is the wordplay.
'is returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'dior' in reverse letter order is 'roid'.
'set' is an anagram of 'ste'.
'a'+'ste'='aste'
'roid' after 'aste' is 'ASTEROID'.

'from' is the link.
